English 18th Century Porcelain
presented by Jane Gardiner

Two lectures in Betchworth Village Memorial Hall, Station Road, RH3 7DF, plus mid-morning coffee and finger buffet lunch, £30 per person.

The Special Interest Morning will examine the early experiments into porcelain making in England in the middle years of the 18th century. We will look at the different pastes developed to achieve both whiteness and strength and consider the influence of both silver and continental porcelain on shapes and decoration. We also look back at Chinese and Japanese export wares as a source of inspiration. The lectures will feature Chelsea, Bow, Derby and Worcester porcelains.

Tickets at £30 each can be booked by contacting John Bloomfield (01737 842980) or Christine Smart (01737 841597)
